The Breathing Space Yoga Teacher Training program is an intensive 200-hour program designed to provide you with a world class standard of training. Delivered over a period of nine months (one weekend a month), the program is based on a carefully designed blend of hands-on training and home study. The curriculum is strongly rooted in the physical, with a focus on developing a vinyasa flow practice. Through discussion of the history of yoga, various lineages of the tradition are addressed—from Ashtanga, Anusara to Tantra and more. The main orientation of the program is directed toward guiding participants through an inner excavation of their deepest self—understanding the patterns behind lifestyle habits and relationship choices. Through this work you will learn to listen to the longing of your heart that you may create the life you were born to live. An important feature of the program is the mentorship component. Upon registration, you will be partnered with a mentor who is a graduate of the Breathing Space Yoga Teacher Training program. Your mentor will be a valuable resource and will be available to you for monthly check-ins and ongoing support. In addition to earning your Breathing Space Yoga Teacher certification, as a graduate you will also be eligible for the 200-hour Yoga Alliance Registry in vinyasa-based yoga. Whether you are looking for an intensive yoga teacher training experience that will call you to a higher standard, or seeking to deepen your own personal yoga journey, the Breathing Space Yoga Teacher Training program may be for you!
